Causes of elevated homocysteine levels

Causes of elevated homocysteine levels. 

An inadequate intake of B vitamins, as well as genetic factors that affect the body's absorption and use of folic acid, can lead to elevated homocysteine levels. If this is the case, your intake of folic acid has to be higher than the RDA of 400 mcg. Other contributors to elevated homocysteine levels include stress and coffee consumption: the more coffee you drink, the higher your homocysteine levels are likely to be. The stress-induced neurotransmitters epinephrine and norepinephrine are metabolized in the liver via a process that uses methyl groups. This can also increase the need for folic acid. In addition, elevated homocysteine levels may be due to low levels of thyroid hormone, kidney disease, psoriasis and some medications.

High Homocysteine Levels May Double Risk of Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease

High Homocysteine Levels May Double Risk of Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, New Report Suggests

People with elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood had nearly double the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), according to a new report from scientists at Boston University. The findings, in a group of people participating in the long-running Framingham Study, are the first to tie homocysteine levels measured several years before with later diagnosis of AD and other dementias. The report, which appears in the February 14, 2002, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, provides some of the most powerful evidence yet of an association between high plasma homocysteine and later, significant memory loss.For more info, please visit http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/feb2002/nia-13.htm
